billip, seriously, have you wondered why members back off commenting, have you thought about the effect of contributing to the microanalysis or response to the attention seeking?

Ribbons, you are clearly articulate and presumably smart and not about to expire

billip, are you ribbons and gadsie? are are you fuelling the drama to advance your own 'research"

seriously, ribbons, get off the forum if you exist and get a ne preoccupation than seeking attention here...as yiu say, you are not about to starve and clearly are not interested in primal as opposed to the attention

billip...creepy

Why would you say shes seeking attention? She might be, but you have no clue

And when you eat too little over a long period of time, you not only stop losing weight, your body will desperately hold onto all its fat for as long as possible because it's trying to keep you alive during a time of famine -- it thinks you're starving (which you are). Eating too little will not bring about weight loss, not until after your body is done basically eating itself. (To say nothing of all the stress you're putting yourself through over this, which leads to more cortisol production...and that leads to weight gain.)

So, to sum up: eating too little is one of the worst things you can do for healthy weight loss.

God damn it. You are so right amberlee. I just remembered that I actually have a real project I was working on, am not interested in nutrition and neither approve of helping people or believe it possible or worthwhile. Thanks. I am clearly at least as capable of obsessing pointlessly as any dumb teenager. Signing off to work on a project that might actually make me some money, a thing I actually do care about.

Yup, I know. Sometimes I remind myself of that but then I get confused about whether it's true or if I'm just justifying eating.
